USB: Driver installation vs. no admin privileges

Hello,

we use WinXP SP2 and Win2003 Domain Controllers.

I am seaching a way to grant standard users of the "Users" group the right
to install USB devices such as memory sticks, mice, removable HDs, etc. As
long as the user has no admin rights a pop-up appears telling me to run the
(automatic) driver installation for the USB device with admin rights. But I
need a way to allow users without admin privileges to use any USB devices...

I know there must be a way as at a former employer where I was a standard
user I could use any USB devices (after the driver has been installed
automatically).

Cheers,
Chris
